Benefits of technology

[0025]An advantage of the present invention is to provide a card sized flat coin holder that enables easy grasping of the coins to remove them from the holder.
[0026]Another advantage of the present invention is that it is an inexpensive and easy to make and use a coin holder.
[0027]One more advantage of the present invention is that the bottom ends of the holder are trimmed for ease of sliding the holder into a wallet and to prevent sharp corners from poking into a leg of a person if the holder is placed in a pocket.
[0028]Yet another advantage of the present invention is that the fold over portion forms a cover tucked into a bottom strip to secure the holder closed.
[0029]Still another advantage of the present invention is that a user can fully close a wallet containing the holder filled with coins.

Problems solved by technology

Sometimes a small zippered coin pouch is added in the construction of a wallet, but if filled with coins, it tends to add bulk to the wallet and the user cannot fully close the wallet.
Coin holders in the form of a small pocket or a small bag are well known, but inconvenient to use, since the user has to carry both the wallet and the coin holder.
Coins are often tossed in a purse, pocket, bag or similar article but this is not practical because it is difficult to remove the coins at the time when the coins are needed.
Prior art devices do not adequately provide a card sized flat coin holder within a folder that secures the coins and yet enables easy removal of the coins.

Abstract

A plastic card-type coin holder folder device for carrying coins fits in a card-carrying section of a wallet. A rigid card the thickness of the coins has circular cut-outs in which to position the coins. Thin plastic strips across a lower portion of a front of the rigid card hold the coins from the front. A thin plastic backing has holes along the top of the coins for pushing the coins forward to retrieve them from the front. A thin plastic cover attaches to the top of the rigid card and folds down over the front of it and is secured by tucking the cover into one of the coin retaining strips.
